MORLEY GETS CREATIVE IN THE NAME OF CHARITY

Morley Glass & Glazing is well-known for its commitment to sponsoring local clubs and societies, helping organise charity events and raising money for good causes.

There have been some incredible partnerships in the world that are synonymous with success and longevity. Ferguson and United, Lennon and McCartney, Keegan and Toshack.

Clippings and Musings – Helen Duval – September 2017

There have been some unusual stories which recently that caught my eye. As DGB mentioned in a recent item, the demise of the Ice Cream van has been squarely put at the door, or the window, of the glazing industry by the Daily Mail. Whilst greater choice and supermarkets will undoubtedly be a big part of its ruin, (if that is the case), I’m pretty sure that headphones, iPhones and online ‘gaming’ will be another big reason why the chimes can’t be heard. All a bit harsh and not really a news item, but no doubt it was the kind […]

When it comes to video marketing its benefits are simple – they can make a company serious money. Incorporating a corporate or product video onto a website can really enable companies to convert leads and fast. Equally, a strong and well defined product video on a website can lead to immediate investment. It has been proven that 74% of viewers who watch ‘explainer-videos’ go on to buy a product. While many people consider that ROI must take some time, many who have made the investment state that it has really helped their marketing campaigns. Whilst there is some time that […]

Asking the right questions about fire doors

When is a fire door not a fire door? It’s a serious question that many should be asking when choosing the right fire doors, say the experts from Masterdor, the GRP and engineered timber door specialists owned by Synseal Group. “A fire door is only a fire door if it is installed correctly, with fully tested, fire-rated hardware and frames which meet British Standards,” says Group Sales and Marketing Director, Andy Jones. “We have seen an increase in enquiries about fire door specification following the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in June, as fire safety has come under wider scrutiny.

VEKA fabricators add FlushSash to sales arsenal

Hot on the heels of the best-selling Halo FlushSash system, The VEKA UK Group has unveiled the VEKA FlushSash, meaning VEKA fabricators can now benefit from this versatile and stylish system. Perfectly suited to a host of applications, the VEKA FlushSash is particularly well positioned to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient systems in the heritage sector. The clean, ‘uncluttered’ lines of the FlushSash are reminiscent of traditional Georgian timber windows, but these flush aesthetics also make the system ideal for contemporary commercial projects as an alternative to aluminium. The VEKA UK Group’s Sales Director Neil Evans explains: “As ever, […]

A BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY RESTORATION FROM FRAMEXPRESS

When a leading industry figure contacts a company to discuss a conservatory restoration project at their own home, it sends a clear message of confidence to builders, installers and other fabricators. For David Amos, Management Consultant at D&G Consulting, the quality standards and exceptional customer service at FrameXpress were already known to him. Understanding the market and being able to provide a solution that would enable a first generation conservatory to be upgraded to the modern standards of today, would be the challenge for the team, as the traditional home needed a retrofit that would complement the existing architectural style.

This type of system either identifies a person or authenticates their identity. Images are run against a database or fingerprints are scanned to prove verification. These have become popular for unlocking phones, computers or most recently to confirm a payment. It’s a brave new world that has most of us hooked due to its simplicity.

Using integral blinds inside the home

When most people think of integral blinds they will often quite rightfully picture a conservatory or an external door or window that could benefit from the increased solar control, privacy and shading offered by such a system.

You will also see integral blinds in use in secure units, hospitals, care homes, laboratories and other […]
